2021, Neurobiology of Learning and MemoryCitation Excerpt :Birdsong learning is a well-established model for studying the neural representations of vocal learning. Song learning is regulated by auditory feedback, essential for song development in juveniles (Konishi, 1965; 1978) and song maintenance in adults (Nordeen and Nordeen, 1992). The acquisition and production of birdsong occurs through a set of forebrain nuclei that form a well-characterized network, known as the “song system” (Bolhuis, Okanoya, and Scharff, 2010; Ikeda, Trusel, and Roberts, 2020; Margoliash and Schmidt, 2010).
